Scientists at the Chilbolton Radio Observatory showed up to work as usual one morning in 2001, to discover the most detailed crop formation ever had appeared overnight in the wheat field next door. Overnight surveillance cameras didn’t see a thing.
Here is a great pic of center of galaxy Messier 13
This is hard to believe but since no one can really prove where this came from, it is worthy of further discussion. Plus this galaxy is 43,960 light years away so we would have had to send the message double that time ago to get a reply?? And here is a description of things from S.E.T.I.:
The broadcast was particularly powerful because it used Arecibo’s megawatt transmitter attached to its 305 meter antenna. The latter concentrates the transmitter energy by beaming it into a very small patch of sky. The emission was equivalent to a 20 trillion watt omnidirectional broadcast, and would be detectable by a SETI experiment just about anywhere in the galaxy, assuming a receiving antenna similar in size to Arecibo’s.
The message consists of 1679 bits, arranged into 73 lines of 23 characters per line (these are both prime numbers, and may help the aliens decode the message). The “ones” and “zeroes” were transmitted by frequency shifting at the rate of 10 bits per second. The total broadcast was less than three minutes. A graphic showing the message is reproduced here. It consists, among other things, of the Arecibo telescope, our solar system, DNA, a stick figure of a human, and some of the biochemicals of earthly life. Although it’s unlikely that this short inquiry will ever prompt a reply, the experiment was useful in getting us to think a bit about the difficulties of communicating across space, time, and a presumably wide culture gap.
We hope you like the video and feel free to comment with your ideas on this controversial topic!
thanks to seti.org for the great info
thanks to NASA for the pic
Analyze it with a quantum computer
They have technology capable of communicating with us from over 140,000 light years away, but rather than sending some kind of audio transmission, they made a crop circle? Okay.
As far as how long a signal takes to get there with our tech of the time. That is not relative to the overall math. If they monitor space with the same technology the the time is halved. If b they have better, who knows. So discounting it because of the amount of time it would take to get there is bad science.
Translation….. Drink more Ovaltine!
It would have to be super luminal(faster than light). Because if it’s 140,000 light years away.. it takes 140,000years to get here. Soooo, it was sent 140,000 years ago….it would be easier to come here in their faster than light ship
You see how none of it makes any sense right?
Hahahahaha!!!!! Good one!!!
No, they are not baffled.
Maybe only directed energy can travel through a wormhole . Ahh its not like i take this serious anyway .
IF wormholes are in fact shortcuts through space and time… It’s just a theory. I would imagine the entrance of a wormhole would be a black hole, and if any energy or information were to enter that, it would be distorted. And then shot out of a theoretical white hole and scattered. It’s hard to imagine any life form would be so precise to figure out a way to direct energy to a specific point on earth through all of that chaos and use that to create a clean message in some guys corn field. Just seems really silly to me. Crop circles just don’t make any sense as a form of communication. No one gave them a second thought until Signs was released and all of a sudden crop circles were everywhere. come on, guys…
